[Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm proud to announce the release of Wireshark 4.2.4.


 What is Wireshark?

  Wireshark is the world’s most popular network protocol analyzer. It is
  used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.

  Wireshark is hosted by the Wireshark Foundation, a nonprofit which
  promotes protocol analysis education. Wireshark and the foundation
  depend on your contributions in order to do their work. If you or your
  organization would like to contribute or become a sponsor, please
  visit wiresharkfoundation.org[1].

 What’s New

  Bug Fixes

   If you are upgrading Wireshark 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 on Windows you will
   need to download and install[2] Wireshark 4.2.4 or later by hand.

   The following vulnerabilities have been fixed:

     • wnpa-sec-2024-06[3] T.38 dissector crash. Issue 19695[4].
       CVE-2024-2955[5].

   Additionally, CVE-2024-24478, CVE-2024-24479, and CVE-2024-24476 were
   recently assigned to Wireshark without any coordination with the
   Wireshark project. As far as we can determine, each one is based on
   invalid assumptions and we have requested that they be rejected.

   The following bugs have been fixed:

     • Extcap with configuration never starts; "Configure all extcaps
       before start of capture." is shown instead. Issue 18487[6].

     • Packet Dissection CSV Export includes last column even if hidden.
       Issue 19666[7].

     • Inject TLS secrets closes Wireshark on Windows. Issue 19667[8].

     • Fuzz job issue: fuzz-2024-02-27-7196.pcap. Issue 19674[9].

     • Wireshark crashes when adding another port to the HTTP dissector.
       Issue 19677[10].

     • Fuzz job issue: randpkt-2024-03-05-8004.pcap. Issue 19688[12].

     • When adding a new row to a table an error report may be inserted.
       Issue 19705[13].

     • '--export-objects' does not work as expected on tshark version
       later than 3.2.10. Issue 19715[14].

     • Fuzz job issue: fuzz-2024-03-21-7215.pcap. Issue 19717[15].

  Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for
  preference files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These
  locations vary from platform to platform. You can use "Help › About
  Wireshark › Folders" or `tshark -G folders` to find the default
  locations on your system.

  found at https://www.wireshark.org/docs/

  Community support is available on Wireshark’s Q&A site[21] and on the
  wireshark-users mailing list. Subscription information and archives
  for all of Wireshark’s mailing lists can be found on the web site[22].

  Bugs and feature requests can be reported on the issue tracker[23].

  You can learn protocol analysis and meet Wireshark’s developers at
  SharkFest[24].
